About Marisa Conway

Founder. Coach. Survivor. Guide.

A Journey from Crisis to Clarity

I'm Marisa Conway, the founder of Presence & Persistence Life Coaching LLC, and my mission is simple yet powerful: to help people heal. My work is deeply rooted in personal experience and professional expertise. As a former emergency nurse with over a decade of frontline experience, I’ve witnessed the impact of emotional trauma on both the body and mind. That journey shaped my path toward holistic healing — not only for my patients, but eventually, for myself.


My personal story includes a painful chapter that so many parents silently endure: parental alienation. After years of navigating emotional loss, confusion, and heartbreak, I emerged with a renewed sense of purpose — to help other alienated parents reclaim their inner strength, emotional clarity, and connection to their children.

The Birth of Presence & Persistence

This coaching practice was born out of necessity—first, to survive my own emotional pain, and second, to serve others walking a similar path.

I bring both clinical clarity and deep compassion to my work.
